# Skills Documentation
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
OpenClaw employs AgentSkills-compatible skill folders to teach the agent how to use tools with a three-tier loading system prioritizing workspace skills over managed skills and bundled options.
|
|
|
|
## Loading Hierarchy
|
|
|
|
Skills are sourced from three locations in precedence order:
|
|
|
|
1. Workspace-specific directories (`<workspace>/skills`)
|
|
2. Machine-level managed folders (`~/.openclaw/skills`)
|
|
3. Application bundled skills (lowest priority)
|
|
|
|
Additional directories can be configured via `skills.load.extraDirs` in the OpenClaw configuration file.
|
|
|
|
## Multi-Agent Considerations
|
|
|
|
In systems with multiple agents, each workspace maintains its own per-agent skills collection, while shared skills live in ~/.openclaw/skills (managed/local) and are visible to all agents on the same machine.
|
|
|
|
## Skill Format Requirements
|
|
|
|
Skills must include a `SKILL.md` file with YAML frontmatter containing:
|
|
- `name`: skill identifier
|
|
- `description`: functionality summary
|
|
- Optional `metadata` as single-line JSON for gating/configuration
|
|
|
|
## Security Practices
|
|
|
|
The documentation emphasizes treating third-party skills as untrusted code. Read them before enabling and recommends sandboxed execution for risky operations. Secrets injected via environment variables affect the host process only during that agent turn.
|
|

|
## Discovery & Installation
|
|
|
|
ClawHub (clawhub.com) serves as the public skills registry, enabling installation, updates, and synchronization through command-line interface tools.
